ERA or Superperformance 427 Thoughts and Observations

[JWilly]

Learjockey1, for the most part, I am only repeating what others have already said, but a Cobra replica of any build is not the car you are describing. I love my SPF and it is a well built, solid car and I know of numerous, much older SPF’s than mine that are still amazingly solid cars. ERA kits are also amazing cars, but I would not call any of these cars “refined”. It’s loud, smelly (gasoline), the whole car shakes at idle, not easy to get in and out of, and if you push the gas pedal down in 1st, 2nd or the low end of 3rd gear; you damned sure better have the wheels straight (God, I love these cars!). If you go to Cobra Country, there are numerous, very low mileage cars for sale and my guess is that most of the people selling those cars are not selling in order to buy another Cobra. Also, remember, most of the people on this forum are out-right addicted, non-repentant, incurable Cobra-holics who cannot live without a regular Cobra “fix” (I plan on being buried in mine). If you are planning on running the autobahn with the Porsches and Ferraris and pulling over for a bit of wine and cheese…definitely wrong car!
